Kasrils said he will set up a trust fund for her with the cash.


He took Maphatsoe, who is also head of the ANC's military veterans' league, to court over his statements that Kasrils planted the rape charge against President Jacob Zuma.


President Zuma was cleared of the charge.


Maphatshoe also apologised in a statement.


"I think the media would like to hear you express your apology verbally," Kasrils said.


"The lawyers have already done that on my behalf," Maphatshoe replied.
